The 9 Key Steps to Selecting a PIM System
Marketing products across multiple channels takes more than processes. A PIM system keeps product information centrally managed, enriched and consistent.
In brief: ECLASS is a cross-industry standard for classifying and unambiguously describing products and services. It is maintained by ECLASS e.V. and is widely used in industry, procurement and engineering.
ETIM is particularly relevant to distributors of electrical and building services products, while ECLASS is more widely used in industry, procurement and for technical data throughout the product lifecycle. Many manufacturers need to support both. A PIM system maintains an internal data model and maps it to both standards.
ECLASS properties are also used for digital twins and the Asset Administration Shell. Well-structured product data therefore also helps meet future requirements such as the Digital Product Passport.
